  1. What a blithering fucking idiot on House Bill Would Mandate Smart Gun Tech By U.S. Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    "I saw it in a movie and therefore...."

    My God... how do these people get elected?

    Oh that's right. We let retards vote.

  2. ** COMMENT DELETED ** on Interviews: McAfee Says House Fire Was No Accident · · Score: 1

    I was going to give this paranoid psychotic the satisfaction of another post, but decided the better and deleted it.

  3. Re:I sense a great disturbance in the web... on FDA To Decide Fate of Triclosan, Commonly Used In Antibacterial Soaps · · Score: 1, Funny

    So it sounds to me like what you're saying is that SOAP is also anti-bacterial, because it kills bacteria.

    Obviously the FDA needs to ban SOAP as well. I mean, they hardly use it at all in Europe, and they get along just fine.. except maybe for a little BO now and then.

  4. Re:Go suck Obamas dick you progressive shit birds on NWS Announces Big Computer Upgrade · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I dunno, I thought the IRS line was pretty fucking accurate.

  5. Re:what is the point of forking a distro ? on Mageia 3 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Forking a distro usually happens when one of the people working on it doesn't feel they are "in charge" enough, and they want to be "the boss," so they go off and create "their own" little fiefdom to rule over.

  6. Re:kickstarter: on After Kickstarter Record, Pebble Smartwatch Lands $15M From VCs · · Score: 1

    That's basically what kickstarter is - it's a way for VCs to crowdsource initial investments without having to give any stock in return. As an AC noted below, in this case, it would appear that the kickstarters basically gave the VCs a gift of $15M, since now the VCs won't have to make any investment for initial development, prototyping, and manufacturing.

    It's a pretty sweet deal if you're a VC - just snap up these kickstarters that someone else paid to develop, and laugh all the way to the bank.

  7. The Next Law on Cell Phones As a Dirty Bomb Detection Network · · Score: 1

    Will say that govenrment gets access to everyone's cell phones so they can "fight terror." It's for our own safety. We should all be thankful Uncle Sam is looking out for us.

    *sigh

  8. Re:Probable Cause on Florida Activates System For Citizens To Call Each Other Terrorists · · Score: 1

    If you read TFA you would know that this is not an anonymous system, and that people making reports must provide their contact information and, if requested, be interviewed by police.

  9. Re:bias in publications? on 97% of Climate Science Papers Agree Global Warming Is Man-made · · Score: 2

    Well, if you have to go through a "peer review" process, and the majority of those "peers" are biased, because they are funded by infinitely-deep-pocketed interests (government) who have a vested interest (taxation and power) in proving AGW, then yes I think it is a reasonable conjecture that there is bias baked into the process.

  11. Re:He's so ignorant ... on Larry Page: You Worry Too Much About Medical Privacy · · Score: 1

    He's not ignorant. He just wants all of your medical records to be in Google.

    He's also just sheltered and things that have an enormous effect on the average person's life have no effect on his.

  12. Ugh... I hate that shit on How To Talk Like a CIO · · Score: 1

    This is the example I use of how NOT to communicate at my company:

    Each individual stakeholder must focus on the downward flow of delegation to ensure timely deployment of critical deliverables and the achievement of key milestones. Without cross-functional deployment of synergistic competencies, we risk significant schedule slippage and may miss key dates that we have agreed to with our core customers.

    I much prefer:

    "Everybody, get your shit done on time and work together to avoid getting stuck, or we won't sell our shit and we won't get paid."

    Sums it up nicely.

  13. Re:They will do things we haven't thought of yet on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    But, the premise is that automation will replace "most if not all" human LABOR.

    Doing new things is still labor. Me cleaning my kitchen is labor. Me building a new desk for my shop is labor. So, the premise is that all things possible for humans to do will be replaced with automation, leaving humans nothing to do.

    Maybe that's not what they meant, but if that's the case, they shouldn't have said it.

  17. Re:I didn't work in the video! on A Computer-based Smart Rifle With Incredible Accuracy, Now On Sale · · Score: 1

    That's pretty normal when you shoot a deer. They seldom just drop dead right on the spot. Depending on where you get them, they can run anywhere between 10 and 100 yards before dropping, or if you get a bad hit, they can wander for hours slowly bleeding out, or worse, for days, eventually succumbing to a predator or infection.

    But what's that little red button on the bottom of the gun?

  19. Re:Surface Drift Question on Global Warming Shifts the Earth's Poles · · Score: 1

    Ad hominem is the standard response to criticism by the greenie fucktards that believe in the religion of global warming (not to be confused with the science of climate change, which NOBODY is talking about, especially not the greenie fucktards)

  20. Re:But does it work well in practice? on The New Yorker Launches 'Strongbox' For Secure Anonymous Leaks · · Score: 2

    Really? I only got six bugs with Ghostery.

    In contrast, I routinely get more than 20 at money.cnn.com.

    But you're right. For any "privacy" company to be tracking you with six bugs says a lot about their real concern for privacy.

    Moderation of your post demonstrates conclusively that members of the Global Warming cult have no sense of humor.

  22. Re:Surface Drift Question on Global Warming Shifts the Earth's Poles · · Score: 0

    "Right, because the scientists who did the studies didn't know any of those things."

    Because the "scientists" that do these "studies" are so laser-focused on arriving at the desired conclusion that they ignore, manipulate, or cherry pick the data that supports that conclusion, in addition to threatening, oppressing, or silencing anyone who has the nerve to ask questions.

    See also Micheal Mann.

    They will simply make it illegal to use "unapproved" encryption, where "approved" encryption is that for which you have provided the decryption keys to law enforcement.

  24. Re:This is awesome on Global Warming Shifts the Earth's Poles · · Score: 0

    +1

    People just can't handle change of any kind. This mentality that things must always stay exactly the same and never, ever change is just ludicrous.

    Politicians talk out of one side of their mouths about how they want "hope and CHANGE," and out of the other about how "change is horrible" and that nothing should ever change.

    And yes, greenists are retarded.

  25. Re:Surface Drift Question on Global Warming Shifts the Earth's Poles · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The crust does drift, and because the crust does not have uniform thickness, crustal drift changes the center of gravity and angular momentum of the Earth, and also shifts the poles.

    Also, if there is a major earthquake that sinks a large portion of crust any appreciable amount, the rate of rotation AND center of gravity change, and poles shift some more.

    There are many many vectors of change for the position of the poles. To assume that all of the observed drift is due to the change in mass of a single ice sheet is ludicrous. But, we're talking about the chicken little global warming narrative here, so anything goes.
